Biography
I have an abundance of experience and training in criminal law with related experience and training in appeals. The bulk of my experience comes from when I was an appellate attorney for over 16 years with the State of Alaska's Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals (OSPA). As a result of that work, I have over 140 Alaska appellate decisions, both published and unpublished, to my name. In addition, I served a little over five years as both a pro tem Anchorage District Court judge and as an Alaska Court of Appeals judge. As a result of my experience, I have the necessary writing and research skills for almost any written trial-court litigation, be it in the criminal or civil arena.
